Measuring the societal impact of research has become a key issue in scientific worldwide. Most competitive funding agencies demand proposals. We must not only bring science closer to public, but also make it improve condition which is found. But how can we measure once been completed? Through this article present Social Impact ex-post Evaluation Protocol (SIEP), proposal tool gather and social ...

The aim of the study was to compare in vivo cardiac function with ex vivo cardiac performance after local heart irradiation in the same rat. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured in vivo by radionuclide ventriculography in Sprague-Dawley rats up to 16 months after a single dose of 20 Gy. Four days after in vivo measurements, cardiac performance was determined ex vivo, using the...

We present an axiomatic model of preferences over menus that is motivated by three assumptions. First, the decision maker is uncertain ex ante (i.e. at the time of choosing a menu) about her ex post (i.e. at the time of choosing an option within her chosen menu) preferences over options, and she anticipates that this subjective uncertainty will not resolve before the ex post stage. Second, she ...

PURPOSE To investigate the mechanisms underpinning modifications in glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity 24 h after a bout of resistance exercise (RE) with or without protein ingestion. METHODS Twenty-four healthy males were assigned to a control (CON; n = 8), exercise (EX; n = 8) or exercise plus protein condition (EX+PRO; n = 8). Muscle biopsy and blood samples were obtained at rest ...

introduction: prefabricated metal and ceramic posts can be used with different kinds of core materials as an alternative to the conventional casting post and cores. it is unclear how these post and core systems can withstand different kind of forces in the mouth. the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of endodontically treated, crowned maxillary incisors restored with ca...

Abstract Exploiting changes in the geography of economic integration Europe, this paper quantifies effects Brexit from ex post to ante using structural gravity. By isolating directional treatment EU agreements for UK, analysis reveals important heterogeneity across agreements, sectors, and within pairs. We find that these matter size distribution welfare Brexit—the withdrawal UK resulting into ...
